On that note, maybe the band could play during TV timeouts instead of that god awful canned music we play at ear damaging volume.
Festival International and Festival Acadiens do not use the strategy of "Our event is well attended, thriving, and people really like it, let's jack up the price every year and see what happens".
I honestly can not believe we killed tailgating. You can't ruin tailgating, drive the people away, and expect them to come back anytime soon.
Can someone please tell me where we got our current tailgating strategy from? I can't find any other university that has this ridiculous model?
People want to tailgate in TG1 and be close to the action, but that requires a $1,200 investment. And for that $1,200 what do you get... some crooked lines spray painted on the ground and a cardboard box to throw your trash into.
...or you can tailgate in TG4 for $450 and be on the corner of Congress and Bertrand completely removed from all football activities, not hear the band, not see the Cajunwalk, etc.
Good grief, what a joke.
I don't know what LSU does but it seems to work magnificently. Let me check with ChatGPT:
It starts with the obvious fact that no one in athletics knows how to run a business, much less how to promote FB games to a relatively small group of students and fans. Anyone who attends a game is a customer of UL, willing to pay for an enjoyable experience...UL has all the assets within it's reach to change the culture of a game experience...People don't mind spending a reasonable amount of money IF some benefit was gained from the experience...part of that experience is customer service and satisfaction by the customer
Nothing with attendance will improve, ever, with the current Athletic Dept team that's in place...they care nothing about customer service or experience....what they do care about is $$$. Any local business that puts profit ahead of customer happiness is doomed to go broke..
Aside from the football being played, they care nothing about their customers...this is so easy to fix, it's not funny...once the customer experience and attention to detail return so will the fans. Until then, fans will continue to get fleeced . Damn the Fans, let's make money seems to be the attitude. Theyre ripping fans off with this 'Premium Experiance' BS. A new stadium is nice, but it's not going to solve the attendance issue...
Why is it when sports become more successful, which in turns becomes more visible, you feel the need to remind everyone about Academic Excellence?
No one will deny the primary function of the university is to educate people. But while we are talking about attendance decreases, what about the drastic decline in degree seeking students? Isn’t that a bigger problem?
Well if the administration is wondering why we will not get a great crowd with a 7-1 record and a chance to host a conference championship game. All they have to do is look 50 miles across the basin at TSAB when they are hosting Alabama, and wonder why we only have 14k at the game.
Blame the fans! Administration hurts my head seriously $”it is not rocket science, it really isnt hard to figure out!
They probably think everyone on this board is just being a cheap skate, and trying to get over on them.
I promise it is not the case.
